Further, that the City will defray the $60 cost of this seminar. Motion carried. Case #2: Per Diem Allowance: Council has asked that the Personnel Committee make a recommendation regarding per diem allowance to the citizens of Ramsey who perform certain functions for the City. Councilwoman Schlueter questioned what part of the budget the funds would come from. City Administrator Schnelle stated that it would come out of the Boards and Commissions Activity Budget, line item 101-4012. Councilwoman Schlueter wondered if we have checked with other communities to see what their policy is on this. City Administrator Schnelle stated that most communities don't have a written policy on the issue but do cover this type of expenditure through a per diem allowance. In some cities volunteer firemen get $5 or $6 per hour and the busi- ness they work for picks up the difference in the person's pay. All cities do it different. City Administrator Schnelle feels that in cases where Council ' appoints an individual citizen to serve on an advisory board where some of the meeting times are held during the normal work day, the individual should be re- imbursed for costs by a flat per diem payment. This would not apply to Council- members or City Staff, however. We would need to prepare a resolution stating.. how these dollars would be paid out. Councilwoman Schlueter discussed at length her feelings about the request by exCouncilman Arnold Cox for per diem payment for meetings he will be attending.
